The following letter codes are used to indicate the reliability of the estimates:

a — Excellent, b — Very good, c — Good, d — Poor (Use with Caution)
** — Data suppressed to protect confidentiality or data not statistically reliable.
++ — Change in rent is not statistically significant. This means that the change in rent is not statistically different than zero (0). (Applies only to % Change of Average Rent Tables).

The Percentage Change of Average Rent is a measure of the market movement, and is based on those structures that were common to the survey sample for both years.
